Programmatically navigate to the dataset editor within the embedded console

Hey guys,

is there a way to programmatically navigate to the dataset editor when I have already the dataset-id within a frontend application with the Quickisight SDK embedded console experience? I already know that it works to navigate to the analysis editor, but unfortunately not to the data set editor. Do you have any information on this, and can we expect anything from the SDK team in the near future?

Kind Regards
Kosta

Hello @kosta,

There is not currently functionality built out for this type of navigation through the embedding SDK. The only possible work-around I can think of would be to programmatically append the dataset ID and /prepare to the end of the embedded URL. I’m not certain that will run, but it might at least be worth a shot. This is how that URL is formatted:
https://<region>.quicksight.aws.amazon.com/sn/data-sets/<dataset-id>/prepare

Since this feature is unavailable in QuickSight, I will also tag this topic as a feature request. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions, otherwise I can archive this for our support team. Thank you!

Hello @kosta, did my previous response help guide you to the expected result? If not, let me know if you have any further questions, otherwise I will archive this question as a feature request. Thank you!

Hello @DylanM, unfortunately that didn’t help because the iframe doesn’t allow navigating to that url. I receive an error and it forwards me then automatically to the ‘start/analysis’ page.

Hello @kosta, I had a feeling it may not work in the embedded format, but I wanted to at least give it a try. It seems this is a limitation with the embedding APIs.
